hang10tiki Dan would not have left the hotel room with heat like that. Coming from Vegas were you two OK?

Tyber Tiki you really started something with your wish. It's one of my favorite projects of all time. Thank you!

Progress Report on the HUGE Maori jar for the show that Tiki Roots Rocka aka Michael Sbicca is putting together.
This was three days work shown step by step.

I forgot to take a photo with the lid on. That will show up later in the process.
Playing with clay sure is fun, Wendy

Wendy-the Supacarved Maori Jar is just sick. Can't wait to see it glazed, finished, wrapped up, transported, displayed and, finally, oogled at by show-goers. Really cool.

It's great to see you having taken that retro Bali Hai logo and done something with it. I while back I came across it and thought that turning it into a mug had some merit...but the way it turned out when you did it was better than I had pictured it....again, great job....another great mug from the Cevola studio....and the legend grows on....

Biotron2000 your words just make me blush.

hang10tiki you were too hot for words while in Palm Springs.

Tyber Tiki you really had a terrific wish. I just love carving these. This one took three days for the body and about a days worth of work to make the lid just right. It's all worth it.

RVICTOR now I would like all of that on my tombstone! The Bali Hai I used is one from the Sacramento area and not the San Diego Bali Hai. Which one were you thinking of using?

lunavideogames you are too much. Thank you so much for the Goonies movie. We will watch it soon and have fun looking for the scenes that show the house and jail we viewed on our last trip. You are so nice.

=========================================

A few years back I sculpted some sea creatures etc. for Roge's chunk lamps. After he had molded them for resin I took them home and made one big mold so I could make necklaces. I've run out so it's time to make some more.

Pouring the mold.

Two hours later I poured out the excess slip and let it set over night upside down. The clay dried and came loose.

Here they are ready to be worked on.

Cut each one loose and then

used this tool to closely cut around each necklace.

All done.

Time to work on their bottoms. This made them lighter weight.

I also cleaned out un-needed clay using this tool.

My mess as I work.

For the first time I noticed that the clay I cut from the bottoms of the sea turtles looked like Hawaiian petroglyphs. So I kept them.

I just fine tuned each one as I did each step.

Now these will dry while I move on to the next type of necklace.

The swap mug and HUGE Maori need to be fired so I needed a few more pieces to make it worthwhile. These necklaces will do just that.

Cheers, Wendy

Ooh, I love the petroglyph / scrap piece turtles! One of the most fun things about this thread is how great your "failures" or "side effect" type pieces are. Plus the amazing intentional sculpting work, as always. I wish I had talent!

On an unrelated side note (going back several pages) to the TMJ sufferers: I've found that acupuncture really helps a bunch.

danlovestikis posted on 06/25/2015

bamalamalu my husband and I couldn't remember the word petroglyph and just gave up. Thank you so much. I went and changed it on that post.

If you look at the first tiki I ever made in clay you would laugh. It just comes down to practice. I've been doing this for a number of years now. My first sculpt that wasn't laughable was the Bloody Maori that Gecko molded and produced since we were and are friends. Get some clay and just play with it. I started with Sculpey.

TMJ is not fun. I'm lucky that it only hurt when I dislocated my jaw, now I'm careful and it's not painful. Good advice for those who are suffering.

Thank you for your post. Reading messages like yours is what makes my day.

lunavideogames we are looking forward to seeing you at Oasis. Dan is so excited to own the movie that has always been one of his favorites though he's only seen it twice 30 years ago. Now he'll watch it many more times. I'll watch it once with him.

RVICTOR isn't it a small world of tiki. If you run into any more from my area...share, please. I need inspiration for next year.

================================

Part Two of making necklaces so I have extra stuff for the kiln.

The second Sacramento crawl mug was a decanter. When I broke up that mold I kept the one piece from which I could cast Tiki Bob necklaces. This photo is an optical illusion. It actually is inverted.

The molds are not flat so to keep enough slip filling Bob to the top of his head I make a dam. The next time I did this I just shimmed the bottoms with pencils.

I fill them up for 2 hours and then pour the excess out.

The next day I was able to easily remove them and

later to trim off the excess clay. On of the molds always makes a whole bunch of tiny air bubbles in the slip.

The holes are bigger than they look and you can't glaze over them. So I press then flat and then add clay on top and smooth it.

Four done with holes for the string.

I decided to make a few Moai necklaces too. So I cast one.

Now I'm getting a pile that will help off set the cost of firing a mostly empty kiln.

I started carving this Moai and when I finished

he had a hand grenade belly.

This one is just a fun in the garden Moai.

I made a couple more and now it's time to let everything dry out. Cheers, Wendy

The next steps for the Swap mug, HUGE Maori jar for the Xiem Clay Center Show and the necklaces.

It took three weeks for the HUGE Maori jar to dry and just a week for the two mugs and necklaces to dry. Now they are all ready to sand.

This shows how I sand the bottom of the mugs and a mesh sheet of "sand" paper. That's the Swap mug.

Using plaster and sanding both require a mask. See the flash reflecting off the particles? All done.

Dan's job is to air compress off the dust while I load them into the kiln. We both wear ear protection and the masks.

hang10tiki thank you for the visit and cool comments.

======================================

Last December as I started work on the Sacramento Crawl mug and Wish List #5 I added to that the pouring of Tiki Bob's.
I posted many of the mugs on page 116 because they were for sale. Some sold and some of those are still waiting to be glazes.

I've continued to carve Tiki Bob's whenever I watched TV. These are all new Tiki Bob's that haven't been shown here before. Some have been claimed by Dan and some by Mahalo Tiki. The rest will eventually be up for sale.

Right now I'm just catching up posting and soon I'll be showing those that have already been glazed.

After all of these have been made I plan to stop making Tiki Bob's unless they are requested on a Wish List.

I'll take the Cat Bob if it is not already sold. My wife loves the cat mugs. She bought a girl Bob from you at the Marketplace a while back, but she seems to like Bobs and wants everything cats :)

"Many more one-of-a-kind Tiki Bobs"? Now that's my kind of headline!
I'm digging the 'modified tapa' Bob, btw.
Cheers! e.

lunavideogames I am behind in posting. The cat mug is available. As soon as it is fired I'll check back with you to see if she still wants it.

We watched the Goonies and we loved the movie. Thank you so much. Having just been in Astoria, Oregon we recognized so many of the places seen in the movie. Sending that to us when they were celebrating the 30th anniversary made it even more special. Thank you so much.

ebtiki it's fun for me when it's fun for you!

=================================

This year I cast 100 Tiki Bob's. Some were used as bases for other creations and many were just carved for fun.
Here are all the rest. I am in the process of glazing them and firing them. They run from $75 to $95 depending on complexity of carving and or glazing. Plus shipping too.

I've lettered them in case you want to place a hold on one until you see it glazed. I'm going back to number the first set.

Oh my goodness! I want one of these Bobs soooooo bad. They all make me smile from ear to ear! I think the one I like best (at least unglazed) is the one in the first batch on the left that almost looks like the pattern is ferns or other foliage fronds? I'd looooooove it, if it's available. But if it's not, I'd be thrilled to have any of them in our home Hokulani Lounge! :)

Just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Bob!

Thanks Wendy, keep me posted. I am glad you enjoyed the Goonies, it was one of my favorite movies from my childhood. Keep up the great mug making, we all love your work.

KonaKaiBaby I like your Tiki Central name. Welcome to my thread of step by steps to tiki ceramics. I'm smiling from ear to ear from your comments. I went back and numbered or lettered each mug. You can let me know which one you mean using them.
I have already begun glazing and firing so if the color I chose for that mug is one you don't like there's no obligation to take it. I'll be showing them all here soon. So I can hold it for you just in case post which one it is by number/letter or re-post the photo.

lunavideogames I'm addicted to smiling when reading these posts. Thank you. We have kids in our family that are going to love this movie too. I want to go on the water slide.

===============================

I just noticed that we are #1 on Cool and Current. Thank you to whom ever put us there. Dan and I are thrilled.

===============================

I have posted so many photos here that they will have to speak for themselves. I'm showing not just the latest Tiki Bob's but all of Dan's Wish List #5 projects. He doesn't work for free. I make many things for his tiki collection.

So the process is...sculpt a tiki, make a mold, cast with slip, carve and fine tune the cast. Let it dry. Sand and blow off the dust. Bisque fire and wash the ceramics. Glaze and fire.

For Tiki Bob's it's do the inside then the outside. Then the eyes and mouth. Then the white face and then the clear coat which is green.

Everything has to be dry before firing or it will boil.

I hope you enjoy the process. This is many months of work to get to this place. Wendy

hang10tiki you need to keep counting. None of those you counted are in this photo. Many of these were also waiting to be glazed. My table was going to break in half so I'm working on them all. More photos every day. It's so much fun when the kiln opens. Wendy

Wow, has been awhile since I was on here but I see you are as busy as ever Wendy! It was SUCH fun to meet you and Dan and take in all the wonder of your tiki land. Amazing collection and inspiring.

Love seeing your work happen! I have a few mugs I am really happy with, but still experimenting with glaze myself. So much fun though! Love your big Maori piece for Michael's show.

Yay! I'm SO excited :)

Oh Wendy, they are all even more wonderful now that the glazing has begun! They all really have their own personality. The one that really jumped out at me because of the cool pattern was the one you have labeled as the very first one in the very first pic. But if for some reason that one is already spoken for, the one next to it (#2) with the spiral on his forehead is also really fun.

My husband is building the mug shelves for behind our home bar now, and I'm going to tell him to make a special nook for the new happy Bob!!

Woodtiki multiple thank you's for all you wrote. We enjoyed our visit with you two as well. I am trying to finish off tiki projects some which started in 2012. I hope we see you at Oasis. Come back any time.

KonaKaiBaby I put your name on the mug to hold it. I believe it has been glazed in purple. So once you see it you can change you mind or claim it as your own. That mug is $75. I saw your shelves, you room is going to be beautiful.

KonaKaiBaby that is a wonderful coincidence. It hasn't fired yet. I am working on the next load. They photos are of things done prior to your mug.

=================================

It's easier to find things for sale on the last page because they hadn't been glazed yet. The batch just out of the kiln has been raided by my husband Dan. Most I'm about to show were part of his Wish List. If you see something that is already taken you can keep it in mind for the next Wish List #6 at the end of this year.

Opening the kiln is such a blast. Sometimes it's not fun when problems are found but this load was not one of those times.

ebtiki I tell Dan I need to sell them for travel money and he says, "I hate to travel". At least I get to see them in his collection.

hang10tiki then he would fill the next one. I am not giving him my living room, no way!

=========================

Every day I've been glazing and here's some of what I've gotten done.

Tiki Bob necklaces, painted the backs.

I went back and removed a lot of the glaze. This will be buff like a peanut mug.

One coat in one direction then the next in the opposite direction and then the last one back again.

This is many days of work. I'm still behind in posting so there's a lot more glazing and opening the kiln photos to post.

I hope you all had fun yesterday. We were in bed with the TV on by 8 PM. We be old timers! Cheers, Wendy

hang10tiki I love crispy cookies. My best friend since jr. high just sent me a photo of crispy ginger cookies and said they are wonderful. I need to go shopping.

IDoVoodoo I like that.

JenTiki the name of the glaze is CN Orange Speckles. You were right on.

==================================

Catch up photos.

I snapped this photo of the Goonies while we were watching the movie. Thank you so much lunavideogames for the gift.

We searched for these Vernon Kiln Trader Vic's mugs for many years. They were found by Tiki Hula in our own home town just a few miles away. Dan feels like his vintage collection is as complete as he needs it to be.

HB Tiki aka Roger and his wife Margi came by for a visit and to pick up his Hot Tub Hula Girl mug. We had a fun visit.

I am glazing like crazy right now and the only things that slows me down are accidents. I did this twice. Thank goodness we have this cat scratch rug over the real rug so catch it.

Philot I have a lot of fun carving but as GROG would say not so much glazing.

KonaKaiBaby . He'll be glossy after he fires and the purple color will change. Fingers crossed that you still like him.

==================================

There are so many steps to making Tiki Bob. Here's the latest group of photos as I work my way through the Tiki Bob marathon. Each glaze was three layers and this took many 12 hour days. I'm just posting a few of too many.

Each Bob that I glaze here will still need the white face and eyes and mouth painted so each of these is only half way done. I'll keep trying to post each day.

I appreciate the comments and the visits. Thank you, Wendy

Geez, Dan-O is grabbing up all the Bob's!

Hang10 - Yep, I was 7 in 1985 :) I am also excited to see the Cat Bob! I will let some of my dog lover friends know about the Puppy Bob!

Looks good Wendy! I am excited to see how all of these Bob's turn out. They are all so unique.

Wendy - Way to Go. Your really putting out allot of good work. The frankoma volcano bowl is my favorite...what an awesome job. There are so many good ones...the carved Coral Reef, bamboo bob and black widow bob (honestly didn't think I would like it earlier on but you did such an amazing job on the glazing)...All such great work and u make it look so easy. :)

KonaKaiBaby (:

LoriLovesTiki me too.

lunavideogames I told Dan he has to wait on the next batch. Sales then he can go over the leftovers. He doesn't work for free.

I may leave Tiki Bob behind now and just do them if they are requested on the Wish Lists.

RVICTOR we'll see if the kiln delivers good works or messes.

===========================

Here's more of what many 12 hour work days can provide.
